blog[hyphen]osphere. The blog-osphere (not blogosphere, sans hyphen) is the topic of this Newsweek piece. In it, Steven Levy attempts to scratch beneath the surface of the A-list bloggers to describe what the rest of us are blogging about. He writes:
So what kind of Weblogs live in the dark matter? There are endless personal journals like Zack’s, exposing thoughts and experiences that range from the somewhat profound to the stultifyingly banal. There are collectively millions of links to obscure items tucked in dusty recesses of the Web. There are blogs devoted to cats, blogs about knitting, blogs about 802.11 wireless standards, blogs about “The Golden Girls” TV show, blogs about baseball, blogs about sex (hey, it is the Internet). One blog is written in the voice of Julius Caesar, tracking the Roman’s progress as he takes on Gaul. There are blog short stories and a blog novel in progress.
